The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka today issued an interim order preventing Deshabandu Tennakoon from performing duties in the post of Inspector General of Police (IGP).
The court also ordered the President to name a suitable person for the post of IGP, during the period of the interim order being enforced against Tennakoon.
Nine petitions had been filed by several parties, including Archbishop Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith, challenging the President’s decision to appoint Tennakoon as the IGP.
The petitioners had sought an interim order preventing Deshabandu Tennakoon from functioning as the IGP.
After having granted leave to proceed with the petitions, the Supreme Court today issued an interim order against IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon. (Newswire)
